We can train our brains to be smarter; to remember, recognize and connect the dots better.

It makes sense the we can make ourselves dumber, too.

Language is changing quickly, which impacts how we think and store and recall experiences, not just text.

So is the planet. Our nourishment will change sooner than later, as will the climate our bodies inhabit.

Anyhow, interesting times. Glad I grew up analog, and that digital is just how I pay the bills, not a lifestyle.
